0.4kg not in muscle mass, unless youre a real real starter and go hardcore.
0.4kg fat is only 3600kcal, so 500kcal a day. quite easy.
if you lift and only eat protein, about grams twice your weight in kilo, you might gain.
cut for summerbody, bulk for maximasing gains. But if you watch your diet, both can happen

>>40559954
Was assuming that roughly, 0.4kg of weight gain would be split into around 0.24kg of lean muscle and 0.16kg of fat. Is this unreasonable?

>Now, please tell me why i'm a deluded DYEL who will make no gains (not being sarcastic)

You will, if anything your expectations and goals are ridiculously low

>>40559824
This is the part that doesn't make sense- doing a hypertrophy focused bro split and 6 days a week makes zero sense as a beginner and I have no idea why you chose that. A full day and routine dedicated to curls? What the fuck is this monstrosity?

You should focus on strength and full body for at least the first 6 months.

>Is it reasonable to gain 0.4kg a week?
At 10% over TDEE? No. That'd equate to 20kg in your first year which is pretty stupid, nevermind possible.

>Is it reasonable to cut at 0.4kg a week?
Yes, but why the fuck are you worrying about cutting before lifting?

>Roughly how much lean mass a week would I lose cutting at 0.4kg/week?
Read the sticky. Depends entirely on your diet, routine and TDEE etc

>Is my plan to bulk now good, or should I cut?
Stop getting caught in memery and lift at 10-20% above TDEE for 6 months on any good beginner routine. You're overcomplicating things and headed for retardation as a result.

What would be a reasonable rate of weight gain at 110% TDEE?

>>40560059
10%

Stop doing math homework and start lifting

>>40560096
I'm just trying to work out a good timeframe for a bulk/cut cycle before my situation changes in september man

I'll hold at 110% and see what my weight gain is

>I'm just trying to work out a good timeframe for a bulk/cut cycle
Bulk until you reach desired weight and looks. The end. If you fuck up, cut until you're where you should've been.

Stop trying to over complicate things.

>>40560153
overcomplicating things is my best lift

>>40559816
>Lower body: can probably still squat 80kg at least, can deadlift 90kg for 3 for certain
so untrained as well gotcha :)

>>40559816
>also my arms are stuck bent like that because i went back to the gym for the first time a couple of days ago and now theyre stiff as fuck
